TALK WITH NORQUAY.
CHICAGO. Aug. 19.-In an interview,
Premier Norquay, of Manitoba, says:
We are going to get to the boundary line,
province before the Canadian Pacific rail
road received the charter from the Federal
government, and we have the same right to
build railroads as the province of Ontario or
any other province of Canada.
Norquay says they have right to
build a road anywhere within provincial
limits. He says the talk of annexation
to the United States ''is simply cheap
political chaff." He thinks there is no
danger of an uprising, and says what
ever is done will be done quietly. He
says he doesn't consider that an injunc-
ton can lie against the authority repre-
sented by the government. He con-
cludeS:
There is a liability of the construction
gangs of the two roads meeting but l don't
think there would be serious collision in
such case, because l hardly think that the
employees feel sufficiently interested in the
contest to make a fight l think that they
will leave that to the government and the
corporation TO fight it out among themselves.

Those who have been blackmailed do
not publicly complain, and thus women of
that class prey on society almost with i'm
punity. 4 clergyman uptown paid black
mail for long time before he invoked the
aid of his friends. 4 merchant paid
blackmail once when woman thrust her
self into his private office and threatened
to scream if he did not He never paid
again, for he gave strict orders not to
admit the woman. Many merchants and
bankers refuse to see woman until she
has stated her business in full TO q clerk.
This rule protects many millionaires from
the wiles of these sharks. In smaller
offices such a rule is not so practicable.
Brokers have often been victimiZed.
These women do not attempt to extort
money at once. They act mOdestly at
first and merely endeavor 10 sell the book
or picture, but after a few visits have been
made they try to wheedle money out of
the broker for alleged family necessities,
or they threaten to put themselves in
compromising positions and scream if
money is not given TO them. They
threaten TO 90 TO wives and sWeethearts,
and marriages, it is well known, have been
broken off where the blackmailer has Dor
rowed child and thus presented SEEM
ingly indisputahle evidence against her
victim. Innocent men pay blackmail the
most readily. The man of loose morals
often proves hopeless case to the would
be blackmailer. He laughs her to scorn
and threatens TO kick her out of his office
if she does not leave at once. She leaves.

Hygiene in the Sick Room.

Hygiene in the sick room was discussed
in lecture recently delivered by the pro-
fessor of pathology of the University of
Pennsylvania before the nurses of the
University hospital. DR.. Tyson said that
no room should be occupied by a sick per-
son which does not have an area of at
least l, 200 square feet. 1t should have a
southern exposure, and even in summer
should receive as much sunlight as posi-
BILE. Excepting in certain diseases, about
which the physicians should give direc-
tons, there should be plenty of sunlight
admitted TO the room all DAY. The furni-
ture and hangings of the room should be
of such nature that they could be easily
cleaned and washed, and they should be
kept in perfectly clean condition. The
constant circulation of air in the room
should be a prime requirement, but this
should be secured without draught upon
the patient. \ lighted lamp placed in the
fireplace would give flow of air which
would be beneficial in cases where no
heat was desired. The general tempera-
ture of the room should be from 6S dogs.

Growth OF Botanical Science.

Botany has so changed, broadened and
deepened within the past twenty years
that it may seem like retrogression TO
talk of flowers. The average botanist Of
to-day has gone so far beyond mere bios
SONS, as such, in his study of minute
anatomy or in his experiments upon vege-
table physiology that he sometimes almost
forgets there are such things as sepals and
petals He must confine himself to a
single cell, or at most a group of cells, a
tissue, or possibly tissue system, or else
his associates will speak of him as being
SO broad that he must be shallow. The
division of labor, in fact, has gone so far
that one person studies pollen for life
time, while another counts that day lost
in which he does not gain some new fact
upon the endless subject of chlorophyle.
There are hundreds of noted botanists
who pay no attention to Towering plants

Harold +. Lewis and his wife of Phil
adelphia, have recently returned from
Europe after four months tour on tri-

the latter city to Coventry, where they
purchased tandem machine and began

easy stages to London, visiting by the
way Kenilworth, Warwick, Stratford-
on-Avon, Oxford, Windsor and
Hampton Court. They spent ten
days in London, making nearly all their
journeys from place to place in the city
on their tricycle.. They then visited
Winchester, Southampton and the Isle
of Wight, and, crossing to Portsmouth,
went along the coast of Chichester,
Brighton and New Haven, where they
took steamer for Dieppe, and thence
went by way of Rouen to Paris. They
spent 10 days in the French capitaI

Queer !SmuaaIfnn Derfces.

In Paris there exists an interesting
museum. Since the existence of the
octroi dues which are levied upon a
great variety of articles, good many
people who in other regards are proba-
bly, honest enough, are induced to en-
deavor to defraud the revenue. In this
museum are kept some scores of the
most clever devices of professional or
amateur smugglers which have from
time to time been seized at the barriers
OF the city or at the custom houses
throughout the country. Most of them
are exceedingly ingenious, and some are,
indeed, of nature to suggest that in
France even smugglers possess wit.
